BEND TEST FRACTURE TEST HARDNESS TEST IMPACT TEST MACROSCOPIC EXAMINATION TENSILE TEST
 
Destructive Test (DT) involves performing mechanical test on materials to obtain mechanical properties. Typical example is to test weld sample to ensure sound weld metal and to reveal welding defects.

 
Bend Test   Bend test determines soundness and ductility of materials. Top
       
           
         
Fracture Test   Fracture test determines resistance to the extension of a crack in materials. Top
         
           
         
Hardness Test   Hardness test determines the ability of a material to resist indentation, or penetration. Top
       
           
         
Impact Test   Impact test determines the ability of material to absorb energy. Top
       
           
         
Macro-Exam   Macroscopic Examination is used to reveal the number of weld passes, the penetration of the weld, the extent of weld undercut, the extent of the heat-affected zone (HAZ), and gross discontinuities. Top
 
 
       
           
         
Tensile Test   Tensile test determines the ability of a material to withstand an applied load. Tensile test gives a great amount of information about a material such as ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, ductility, percent elongation, percent reduction of area, modulus of elasticity, proportional limit, elastic limit and toughness.
